Or maybe they would decide that their church is the better for it, and they will fervently pray that you study it. And come to a service and drop $ in the plate:)
Not if it's the Book of Mormon. There is no plate. Heck, at the branches, the only paid position is Janitor.
BYU (Brigham Young University) has several large Linux labs, which unsurprisingly have mozilla as the default (and, if you exclude lynx and konqueror, only) browser installed.
Nah, the XP drivers actually work fine. It just turns out that Windows 2003 (VLK) shipped with the sound service disabled by default. My hardware manufacturer said they contacted MS, and they didn't know why, but did say that the new batches won't come that way.
Netscape has SNS support for AOL/Netscape/Compuserve users. SNS passes the AOL login to sites which need to authenticate - sort of a "single sign-on for the web". Very cool if you're an AOL user.
Yeah, and it's also easy if you need a quick and easy way of harvesting large amounts of verified email addresses to put on a sucker list.
I have the opposite problem. I just installed Windows Server 2003, and I can't get my nforce-based sound working. I have to boot into linux to get my hardware working, nvidia won't support my Windows OS.
"Effective" DRM so far has always used cryptography. Technically speaking, DRM does not have to use it at all.
Rights refers to the abilities you have with said content. Management means taking them away from you. After all, you have them to begin with - the only thing they can do is take them back away.
Connections to the internet/other network services are only needed to make it more effective. I have a number of pieces of old software which used bad sectors or other mechanisms to prevent copying. The application in question was not encrypted at all. The installer simply checked for the presense of certain markers on the disk, or the program itself did. Some even allowed a certain number of installs.
As for my triangle shaped CDs. Why would they need to be writable? Suppose I had a patent on triangle-shaped CD readers (and CDs), and I only licensed it to devices incapable of making copies. Tracking is not necessary, and I am limiting the number of copies you can make. 0 is a perfectly acceptable number (at least to some copyright holders).
As for limiting _how_ the content can be played back, that is also trivial. If I only license triangle CD player patents to devices which are designed to play in cars, I have limited the places where people can play their audio.
Nowhere in the definition of DRM is encryption a requirement, nor is effectiveness. It's about "Digital", "Rights", and "Management"(read 'taking'), all of which my Triangle-shaped cds encompass.

Technically speaking, copy-protected Audio CDs can still have DRM. They do _not_ have crypto (at least not yet in most retail ones), but they certainly try to manage your rights.
1) Copy-protection can be accomplished through DRM. The two are not necessarily seperated.
2) DRM can be accomplished through other means than crypto (although crypto is usually the most effective means). DRM could technically be done by making a 8 inch triangle-shaped CD. It wouldn't be encrypted, but you still would have no rights with it.
3) If it _were_ protected by cryptography, it still wouldn't play in the car stereo anyway. Nor, for that matter, would it play in any other standard stereo. I suspect this would be even more grounds for a lawsuit, if it was being sold as an "CD".
Because it's a really cheap, innoculuous(probably misspelled) looking machine. Furthermore, ms LOSES MONEY on each and every one. I find a microsoft subsided linux machine tempting, to say the least. Besides, it's good when you need to sneak a packet sniffer into a realitvly secure space. Very few people suspect an Xbox.
Although email is a _part_ of the internet, it still serves a use in and of itself. If they were unable to provide full internet at the time, e-mail was still a worthwhile service to provide.
Ok, so filter out SMTP, except to the island email server (throttled of course). Spammers would be banned from internet access anywhere in the country. Ouch.
I said "remember", not "do". If something truly is interesting, I will remember it. That doesn't mean I can do it. As for programming, I usually get by in 15-30 minute shifts, while doing several other things at the same time.
No (at least not useful features). In fact, some are taken away (like popup blocking). It has some AOL crap bundled with it, like AOL Instant Messenger, but you can get that stuff on your own.
Amen. I used to sleep noon to 8, get my stuff done by 6am, take classes at 7, then go back to bed at noon. Worked fine, and as an added bonus, it minimized my interaction time with other human beings. (No, really, i'm not trying to be funny. I don't like dealing with people).
I could NEVER do homework - it's fairly simple. I can remember _one_ thing at a time (unless I'm interested like programming). I must spend the entire day repeating it to myself, or I will _not_ remember. Even when I make lists or notes, and sit down to do my homework, I _cannot_ do it. 5 minutes later, I will be doing something else, and have forgotten that I was doing it. Think it's just a copout? For the longest time, I even sit down and EAT for 15 minutes straight without just wandering away (I love to eat, and the food was good). When asked about why I left, I honestly didn't know.
It doesn't have to be easy. But if I can't stay on one task for more than 5 minutes (I can handle 5 tasks at a time, I just can't handle 1), it makes it really really hard to get stuff done.
For me, it wore off in minutes. I got tired of them claiming the changes were dramatic. I finally got off of them when I told my parents they didn't work at all. They insisted that the teachers said "It works so well" and "They can tell what days I take it and when I don't". I said "That's funny, I've been pocketing them for the past 3 weeks. That was the end of that, and I'm glad I did it.
It does exist; many diagnosis are just wrong. I have had scans done of my brain, when most ("normal") people try to focus, there are portions of the brain that show increased activity. When I try to focus, that part basically shuts down, and the rest lights up like a christmas tree.
I love to eat, yet I have had problems just walking away from the table. Was I finished? No. Did I even realize that I was doing it or why I was doing so? Not at all.
Tell me that that is normal.

Ritalin helped, but for some of us, our metabolism is too high for it to matter very long. It helps me about 15 minutes, which is about what is expected; I was given 3 shots of novocane, and the numbness lasted for less than 5 minutes.
As for the social life, I don't have a problem with mine. I'd have to have one to have a problem with it.

Wow. I'm glad in a way that I never had to deal with the depression, although the way I do so has it's own problems. As a direct way of dealing with the "you're capable of so much more" crap I got for so long, I developed a total and complete inability to care for any period of time. I can _absolutly not_ be down about anything (or, for that matter, up) for more than a couple days (at most). Depression is not fun; I'd rather feel bad than nothing at all.
Heh, my ADD is just the opposite.
Give me a tolken book, and I won't make it more than 30 pages (no really, I own 3 copies of the hobbit, never made it more than 30 pages). I consider tech manuals "light reading", and ran through every single manual the 286 had (including Dos 3, Direct Access, and some other fun stuff) in a couple of days.
As for learning programming, I learn through open source. Figure out what I need to do, figure out another program that must do something similar to accomplish what it does, rip it apart, and learn. If the application is not "open source", there's always IDA/w32dasm.

1) ADHD is fairly new. But people have always had it. Instead of being diangosed, they were often called lazy, unfocused, or hyper.
No, they were called hard workers on the farm, they were productive, and it was considered a _good_ thing to have lots of energy.
